Black Saint/Soul Note Box Sets

[Niko]

Hope not... I want a Mal Waldron box, a Lacy box, a Muhal box, etc etc etc

Pullen, Roach, Bang, Dixon, Hemphill, Braxton... all the stuff that was hard to get, maybe out of fashion, when i started listening to jazz

Yes yes yes! Bring them on... I hope the impression that these are selling well is indeed true and they'll go on with them for a while!

A Giorgio Gaslini box of later material might also be cool (though I have several of his discs from that time), to complement (the hopefully continuing) "Integrale" anthology!

Is the sound of the Haden and Threadgill boxes as awful as the sound samples that appear on CAM?

From CAM re: Threadgill -

A philological work, beginning with the original recordings on multi-track master tapes, patiently integrally remastered paying strict attention to the sound quality.

Does that answer your question?

Not really, but I ordered them both anyway. I see the next four boxes have been delayed until September 3rd, 2010.

How about a Billy Harper box? He did record the first album on the label, and they did name the label after him. Throw in the Soul Note 'In Europe' albums and you've got a nice set. Also looking forward to the Max Roach box.

Alright! Got my Haden and Threadgill in a week from Italy. Gonna smoke some healing herbs, put on the Haden and post my reactions.

[peterintoronto]

These sound just great. The samples on the CAM site aren't an accurate representation of these sets.

I'm a little late to the party here, but count me in as someone who would love to see boxes from David Murray, Mal Waldron, Max Roach, Muhal Richard Abrams...

Excited to see the Lester Bowie & Cecil Taylor boxes coming...!

I am excited about the Russell. I have some of these on vinyl. True I've got mixed feelings about them, but I think the set will be an excellent opportunity to think about Russell again. It will be a good price, I expect, and I am looking forward to it.

This one is definitely on my short list. Don't have any of the albums.

Hey welcome! So... FNAC has these on pre-order, expected 26/8...

[king ubu]

9CD, not 3... the Threadgill was 7.

Same format I guess indeed.

I merged the threads about the Black Saint/Soul Note box sets to keep all info and opinions in one place.

The scale of price is a bit out of whack , 23 Euros for the Bowie 3 cd set, while for the Taylor who has two more cds is 25 Euros.

For those wondering, talking about FNAC, found it on Amazon France with prices ranging from the Bowie at 18 Euros to Russell at 31.

yes, that's weird, french amazon has prices of

16,95

18,95

19,95

30,45

which is similar (but a good deal nicer), similar relations at amazon.de (but add 15-20 Euro to the price...) still waiting for grooves-inc prices (Threadgill set is labeled sold out on the label's hompage btw)

[Van Basten II]

So far neither Grooves or Cam Jazz have annonced any pricing. Ordering all four from Amazon France is costing 89 Euros shipping included, remember I'm a Canuck.

I wouldn't bother about the prices - they're great, even 23€ for a 3CD set is pretty much ok in my book!

Agreed! And CAM got them from Italy to Canada in 4 days!

[brownie]

These four boxes will be out later this week...

The four new boxes will be out later this week...

Since I'm not talented enough to find it on Amazon fr, will you be kind enough to give me a link?

Got my sets yesterday.

These sound just amazing, as great a remastering job as the last batch.
